OK Yet ANOTHER question
I was looking at ways to improve a strategy and was looking through the Results Breakdown
Being selective with the pace letter seemed to make a difference, however when I tried to add that to the system it was asking me to specify a % of x runs.
What is the pace letter in the results breakdown based on please
Many thanksI'll tag @Adam as he will be able to explain this

Rather than post the SOL's daily, here is the file I use to get my qualifiers from. It is the same as the one on the megathread, but has the runner numbers and DSLR rules removed. @Martin, can you add this to the pinned post. It's not a replacement for the current one so leave that there(so you can check your fully filtered results.
Hope that makes sense.
love it!
been asked about Dobs what's your current main dob strategy mate?

@john-folan Thanks for sharing John

@fraser-cord Yeah, that’s what I mean. The software says it’s seven but John has had a losing run of 12. I can only assume it’s because John doesn’t do Saturday’s with that strat, hence the longer losing run
That and a couple of borderline ones that decided to hit the bot but not the software. It came back from that it will come back from this

@lee-colvin Yeh i just ran the software from april 2021 after looking at todays bad news, software's longest losing run says 7, will be 8 tomorrow morning once it updates.
I guess you take the rough as long term this has to turn (surely), but man alive its been a hard few days.
-
@karl-pick same, shocking end to jan, lucky im on low stakes
-
@john-folan A losing run of 12 is quite a bit more than what the software states mate, it only says the longest losing run is seven. Is there perhaps a glitch somewhere maybe John?
-
@john-folan ...BEEN a bad last 10 days after a good first 20 for me.
-
@john-folan I've been looking back through my strategies and December and January have been the longest losing runs/ biggest downturns. I'm sure the abandoned races throws the figures out as there's fewer trades to swing it

I shall be laying the favourites in these races 10 seconds before the start time subject to the following conditions:
Number of Runners 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.Full strategy available here in the pinned post.

Longest losing run I’ve had on these is 12 and my biggest drawdown is 17% of its bank. Heading that way again it would seem.

@john-folan
If thats the lay at low odds strat in the presets i dont think 'laying the favourite' is actually how it works. Not how the backtester plays it anyway. If you look through all the individual results you will see a lot (and its way more than the odd one) of races where its placing 2 lays. Generally odds of over 2 when it does this but there are quite a lot of them. -
@john-folan @Lee-Colvin , just need to keep the fingers crossed. The data is clearly there, back to normal next moth please.
